FEBRUARY 21, 2013

In a study published in the journal Energy Economics , MIT researchers have found that a fuel economy standard is at least six to fourteen times less cost effective than a fuel tax when targeting an identical reduction in cumulative gasoline use (20% by 2050).

According to lead author Dr Robert Gross, subsidies for low carbon cars are likely to be effective as drivers often discount long-run costs. The report outlines a number of short-; medium-; and long-term options available. Road pricing along with fuel tax rises and competitive fares and service improvements could be effective.

By working out that the price of oil will fall when the EU’s regulations fully take effect, the study suggests that the European economic benefits of fuel efficiency have been underestimated, in general by up to 17%, according to T&E. There are two clear messages from this, one good, the other a little dangerous.
